Hi Weirdos!   

Are you ready for a trip into the past? This week we are taking a break after our busy BUSY October (& we’re hiding under a rock until we recover from the election)  SO, it’s time for a CELEBRATION OF STRANGE!   This is a special “Guest-isode” 

We are MISSING OUR GUESTS so I wanted to share with you a collection of clips where our GUESTS have been the experts in their topic and have come on the show to really educate us in their career, passion, obsession or just their everyday life.  

You’re going to hear from people who have weird jobs, weird bodies, weird interests and MORE! Weird is wonderful.  Weird is a compliment.  WEIRD is our absolute favorite thing.  Weird is nothing to be ashamed about in fact… we believe it should be celebrated.

Another day, another END TIMES PROPHECY.  

Oh Frabjious Day, weirdos!

WARNING: This episode contains foul language, discussions about death, suicide, drug use, the afterlife, demonic activity, and the deaths of animals.  There are music and sound effects that may be jarring to some listeners.

Do you hear that weirdos?  That strange creak down the hall?  The footsteps on the stairs?  The whisper just behind your shoulder?

Well you WILL after you listen to this GHOST STORIES MEGA SODE!! It’s been 8 years (7-½ but whose counting?) and every season we have multiple LISTENER GHOST STORIES episodes where we present REAL stories sent in by YOU, our amazing listeners.

It’s high time that we compile some of these bad boys so this week’s episode is a celebration of creeping each other out.  A fiesta of freaking our beans.  A jamboree of just about pissing our pants.

FIFTEEN horror stories from ten different past episodes. 

Season 2: YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TOOTH  -  Sugar, Spice & Bathroom Ghosts Twice  -  If You Got It, Haunt It

Season 3: Hot Eats, Cool Treats, Haunted by a Child  -  Clap If you Believe in the Barn!

Season 4: Beep Beep Richie  -  Ghost Haircuts & New Friends  -  100% That Witch

Season 5: Are You Happy Now?  -  A Streetcar Named WTF

 As usual, these episodes contain sound effects and music that some listeners may find jarring.  There will NOT be a sound effect/music free version of this on the patreon this time around because I don’t even think I have the original files anymore, haha.  So I apologize.

 Music featured in this episode by Vivek Abhishek, Ross Budgen, CO AG Music, and the Hadwin Channel.  

We will be back to our regularly scheduled program NEXT WEEK but in the meantime: 

Please send us YOUR strange experiences to keepitweirdpodcast@gmail.com for future episodes of scary stories.

TW: drugs, drugging people without their knowledge, sex work, assassination attempts, references to violent video games, rape and pornography

 It's for your own good, weirdos.

Hello and welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD; the podcast for all things strange and unusual. declassified and dangerous, haunted and hinky and everything in between.

Every time we get together it's another opportunity to talk about something WEIRD and this week is definitely no exception.

Ashley starts us off with a DECLASSIFIED diving into yet another secret CIA operation called Operation Midnight Climax and yes it's exactly what it sounds like. A decade long operation under the MK ULTRA program wherein the CIA hired sex workers to bring clients back to their government funded bordello and illegally dose them with LSD and other mind altering substances.

Lauren takes us into an UNSOLVED MYSTERY straight out of Black Forest Colorado-- where a family moves into a home that may actually be built directly on top of a rip in space-time. Flashing lights, loud sounds, apparitions, music, laser beams, chemical burns, and faces in all of the mirrors. Count me out, fellas.

And last but not least we tiptoe into TERRIFYING TECHNOLOGY and examine the theory that our modern technological boom may have been a gift (or a weapon) given to us by extraterrestrials all the way back in Roswell, New Mexico. We discuss Colonel Phillip J Corso's claims that whatever crashed in Roswell led to fiberoptics and microchips & therefore computers an the internet and we also take a look at an indigenous tribe, deep in the Amazon, called the Marubo and what happens when you give a community their first access to the internet.

Hi Weirdos!  Or should I say… high weirdos?

Welcome to a very special episode of KEEP IT WEIRD– your one stop shop for all things strange and unusual, stoned and spooky, blitzed and bonkers & everything in between.

What makes this week so special is that it’s our BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION for the best co host that side (or THIS side) of the Mississippi.  Lauren and Ashley have been best friends for going on fifteen years now (EW how did we get so old) and were sick and tired of not being able to PARTY TOGETHER on special occasions.

So we did a little “gardening” and poured ourselves some fruity beverages and set off to BLOW EACH OTHERS MINDS with some absolutely crazy science, biology, history and trivia.

We cover how stars and planets are made, how many blimps we have on Earth, how you can tell the temperature based on a cricket’s chirp, which famous horror director had to say goodbye to his bellybutton, an ancient city full of skyscrapers that you didn’t know existed, where the sound comes from when we snap our fingers, and even alligators who can gallop faster than Gunpowder (that’s Ichabod Crane’s horse… obviously)

So buckle your seatbelts, maybe take a toke or two yourself, relax, melt into the couch, WAIT too much melting.  Don’t forget to breathe.  Yes you ARE breathing.  Chill out, relax, meeeelt into the couch.  There we go. Open your mind to weirdness.  Let it flow through you.

Hi Weirdos!! 

I can see your future, weirdos!

RIP WEIRDOS!  Welcome to Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, terrific yet terrible, bogus and beautiful and everything in between!

A couple times a month we get together to chat about something WEIRD and of course this week is no exception.  We are going to be taking a trip into the past with a crazy story of reincarnation, storming into a television network to yell at them for creating another horrific reality tv show and visiting a foreign country on the other side of the planet to join a protest!

Ashley starts us off with DONT FEAR THE REAPER and the story of Jenny Cockell, an English GENIUS (no joking around) who has had memories of her past life (excuse me, LIVES) since she was four years old.  In the 90's she was not only able to find the home she lived in in her life before, she was also able to find all of her surviving "children" and reunite them.  

Lauren takes us into REALITY TV CORNER as we explore TLC's 2013 reality tv hit "Best Funeral Ever."  Ok, maybe it wasn't so much of a hit, it only lasted a season and a half but boy was it packed with unique, special and sometimes downright STRANGE funerals.

Then, we hop into WHERE IN THE WORLD IS KEEP IT WEIRD GOING as Ashley takes us for a brief trip to South Korea as we explore the B4 movement.  Bihon, Bichulsan, Biyeonae, Bisekseu: No marriage, no childbirth, no romance, no sex.  It turns out that women DON'T need men to survive and in a lot of cases, it's actually detrimental to our health to be near them.  Sorry not sorry!

TW: foul language, religion, apocalyptic imagery

I'm a loner, Weirdo. A rebel. And you are entering KEEP IT WEIRD: the podcast for all things strange & unusual. We get together every other week and chat about SOMETHING WEIRD and of course this week is no exception.

We are SINGING OUR PRAISES, we are ALIGNING OUR CHAKRAS and we are SPEAKING IN TONGUES this episode is ALL about religion.

Ashley starts us off with one of our favorite segments WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US as we learn all about the RAPTURE. What it is, when it was created and how it differs from what is *actually* in the bible. Ruh Roh.

Lauren takes us into a WHERE IN THE WORLD IS KEEP IT WEIRD GOING and the answer to that question.... is Utah. Utah in the 1930's to be exact, when Mary Ogden brought her spiritualist movement to a hollow rock in the middle of freaking no where and things got weird.
